Welcome to Add Lib, your Tuesday report on POP! Goes The Charts that’s mad about CHR/Top 40 adds, based on the station data provided by Mediabase 24/7 and Add Board. This week: we feel the burn at the top, as several impacting records burst into the top ten with big totals. Let’s add ’em up:

“FIRE” UP THE ADDS: It was a competitive week for two collaborations on the Top 40 adds report, as both accumulated bigger numbers this Tuesday, but by the end of the session, “Lost In The Fire” from Gesaffelstein & The Weekend paced just ahead of “Dancing With A Stranger” by Sam Smith & Normani, with final totals of 118 and 98 stations, respectively. Both of these singles will land well into the top 40 by the published update on Sunday, with “Lost” having the early edge for the higher of the debuts. It’s also possible that both titles could appear in the top five on the adds report again next week, though that’ll depend on the results of several new impacting songs. (See below for more information.)

LIVVIA‘s “Damn” also managed to break into the top five on the new report, securing 23 stations and a fifth place finish. With the Cumulus block add it recently earned, the tune is quickly rising through the top 50 and could easily eclipse the peak of the Quavo-assisted “Catch A Body”, which reached #37 last May.

Next week, look out for three impacting tracks from Calvin Harris & Rag’N’Bone Man (ranked at #8 this week), George Ezra and NF to sport some major action on the list.

Welcome to Add Lib, your Tuesday report on POP! Goes The Charts that’s mad about CHR/Top 40 adds, based on the station data provided by Mediabase 24/7 and Add Board. This week: Post Malonewows the Top 40 panel with another reactive single, as the Backstreet Boys take their chances on a second release from their forthcoming album. Let’s add ’em up:

OUR LATEST POST: Though hot releases by Ava Max, Bad Bunny featuring Drake, Mark Ronson featuring Miley Cyrus and Zara Larsson remained strong on the leaderboard for the first session of 2019, it was Post Malone and his new track “Wow.” leading this week’s Top 40 report. The song impacted with 78 stations at the format, while also collecting 55 adds on the Rhythmic panel, the Most Added song there, and 40 adds at Urban radio, taking a fifth place finish. Over the holiday break, “Wow.” topped a few different sales and streaming charts, including the main U.S. lists on Apple Music, iTunes and Spotify. Look for it to climb into the top 40 here by the end of the week.

Following the band’s top 20 hit “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” from last year, the Backstreet Boys are well on their way to a second chart entry off their new set DNA, out in just over two weeks. “Chances” impacts with a pretty solid 22 stations and a seventh place finish this week. It’s already in the top 20 on the Hot AC chart, a format where “Don’t” reached the top ten.

Next week, look out for impacting songs by Lauren Daigle (at #10 this week) and Sam Smith & Normani to dominate the list.

Welcome to Radio Active, a Sunday evening report from POP! Goes The Charts that gets to the chart of the matter: all the highlights from the CHR/Top 40 chart, as published by Mediabase 24/7 and Mediabase Research. It’s time for a trip down the hit highway and all our favorite musical attractions, so let’s rev it up and see what’s popping this Sunday:

“GIRLS” ARE MORE FUN:Girls, you know it’s true. You simply love “Girls Like You” by Maroon 5 and Cardi B, which spends a third week at #1 on the Top 40 survey, making it the group’s longest run at the top since 2014’s “Animals” had its four weeks at the summit. Though it’s still rising above the 19,000 spin threshold, it’s just over 200 spins away from breaking the current record here, which is held by Ed Sheeran‘s “Shape Of You” from last April during its massive ten-week run at the top. The hit also leads the Hot AC survey for a second week, while continuing to charge towards the top ten on the AC list. Meanwhile, on the Top 40 ranking, Post Malone‘s “Better Now” holds in the runner-up position for a second week, but it’ll likely be at #1 before the end of the month.

EVERY “BODY” IS HERE: Headed towards the bottom of the survey, there’s a pair of top 40 entries at the format this week from Imagine Dragons (“Natural”, up 41-37) and Zedd‘s collaboration with Elley Duhé (“Happy Now”, up 43-39), while four releases land in the top 50 for the first time. Leading the pack, Anne-Marie‘s “2002” does some time traveling into the #44 spot. The song’s due for another solid week of adds, following a second place finish on last Tuesday’s report. In at #45, first-time collaborators Logic and Ryan Tedder connect on “One Day”. Tedder’s band OneRepublic impacts at the Hot AC radio format a week from tomorrow with their recent sync hit “Connection”, which is featured in Fiat Chrysler’s Summer Of Jeep campaign. New at #47, Bazzi checks in with an updated version of “Beautiful”, featuring pop darling Camila Cabello. The original solo version of “Beautiful” can be found on his debut album Cosmic, which just missed the top ten on the Billboard 200 earlier this year. The last of the four debuts, entering at #48, is a collaboration that’s been shaking up the top ten in Canada and the United Kingdom. “Body” is the first chart song for the male duo called Loud Luxury and a vocalist named Brando. Given that international success, it should have a shot here as well.
